{"title":"The relationship between identity development and medical students’ performance in technology-integrated English language classrooms","authors":"Hassan Afsharipour, Mehry Haddad Narafshan, L. Anjomshoa","doi":"10.34172/rdme.33154","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34172/rdme.33154","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Contemporary technologies have created a unique set of circumstances that shape the life experiences and identities of medical students. These circumstances diverge and extend beyond the contexts experienced by previous generations in the pre-digital era. Methods: We explored how medical students’ identity development and English language performance were related in technology-integrated classrooms from February to June 2023. The research, a cross-sectional quantitative survey, studied 450 medical students at Islamic Azad University of Kerman, Iran. The study, a cross-sectional quantitative survey, was conducted on 450 medical students at the Islamic Azad University of Kerman, Iran. To collect the data, an identity development questionnaire in technology-integrated classrooms was submitted to participants either in person or via email. Data were collected using an identity development questionnaire in technology-integrated classrooms, and distributed to participants in person or via email. Furthermore, the participants’ English language proficiency scores reported by their English instructors were used to assess their English language performance. Results: The study found a positive correlation between identity development, its sub-scales, and the participants’ English language performance in technology-integrated classrooms. Commitment-making emerged as the most efficacious factor in predicting English Language Proficiency within the ambit of identity development. Within the scope of identity development, commitment-making was identified as the most effective factor in predicting English language proficiency. Conclusion: While contemporary digital technologies are not crucial for identity formation, they offer enriched opportunities for individuals to explore and express their sense of self. Particularly in the medical field, students can utilize these technologies to engage in diverse and collaborative interactions. This not only allows them to connect with others and participate in various communication modes, but also aids in the expression of their identity, idea exchange, and information acquisition across various contexts.","PeriodicalId":21087,"journal":{"name":"Research and Development in Medical Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140234959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate the Bachelor of Healthcare Management educational program at Yazd University of Medical Sciences using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. Methods: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted at Yazd University of Medical Sciences in 2023, with the participation of 8 faculty members, 95 students, and 327 graduates. Three questionnaires, encompassing four dimensions and nine domains, were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software (version 27), employing the ANOVA test and descriptive statistics. Results: In terms of context, input, process, and product, the overall scores for the educational program of the course were 3.03, 2.96, 3.06, and 2.99, respectively. Concerning the overall score across all dimensions, faculty members scored higher than students, and a statistically significant difference was observed between the overall scores of faculty members and students. A significant correlation was found among the dimensions investigated. In general, this training course was evaluated at a relatively favorable level. Conclusion: Given the course’s low score in the ‘appropriateness of curricula with approved topics’ section, it is feasible to increase the program’s overall desirability by implementing some modifications in the course topics and accentuating the students’ skill development.","PeriodicalId":21087,"journal":{"name":"Research and Development in Medical Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139171232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yamani, Mozhdeh Delzendeh, Peyman Adibi, Amin Beigzadeh","doi":"10.34172/rdme.2023.33143","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34172/rdme.2023.33143","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Teaching medical students at the bedside to foster a spectrum of essential skills can only be acquired if an educational method is utilized in rounding practices regularly. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the best model for conducting bedside rounds from the perspectives of medical teachers and students in our context. Methods: This qualitative exploratory descriptive study, using interviews and observations, was conducted at the Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Iran in 2020. We recruited skilled bedside teachers/role models (n=6) and medical students (n=8) based on snowball and purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through (A) semi-structured individual interviews and (B) observation of clinical rounds. We used deductive content analysis to analyze data using MAXQDA software version 12. The trustworthiness of the data was evaluated based on four criteria: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. Results: In total, this study involved 14 participants, which included 6 bedside role models and 8 medical students. The mean age of medical teachers and medical students was 50 and 29.6 years, respectively. The mean duration of the interviews for medical teachers, medical students, interns, and residents was 20, 25, 30, and 20 minutes, respectively. The findings revealed three cycles and twelve phases that contribute to the development of the optimal bedside teaching model. These include the preparation cycle (comprising preparation, planning, and orientation), the clinical exposure cycle (which involves introduction, interaction, instruction, reinforcement, supervision, and summarization), and the conclusion cycle (consisting of debriefing, feedback, and reflection). Conclusion: An educational model can better facilitate the acquisition of the entire range of clinical skills and professional behaviors, which are indispensable components of learning. The experiences obtained from batches of participants in our context have been instrumental in developing an essential model that fosters both tangible and intangible skills, thereby producing competent doctors.","PeriodicalId":21087,"journal":{"name":"Research and Development in Medical Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139171514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We used an observational study design for assessing the interrelation of motivational component profiles between both cohorts using the Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ II)1. Of the total sample size of 150 first-year students, 126 agreed to participate, and similarly, out of 150 final-year students, 105 had consented to participation [‘convenience’ model of sampling]. The measures of central tendency, i.e., mean and standard deviation, were calculated for each item, and the Mann-Whitney test was utilized to compare the mean score of each motivational component. Results: Our results indicate that the overall motivational profile for learning embryology differs among first and final-year students. The mean intrinsic motivation and self-determination scores were slightly higher in the first-year cohort, whereas self-efficacy scores were slightly higher in the final-year cohort. This information integrates students’ levels and types of motivation into the planning, delivery, and evaluation of medical education. Conclusion: Despite being one of the key components of self-regulated learning, motivational component profiles remain unaddressed in contemporary medical education owing to their abstractness and subjectivity in terms of documentation. The current study helped us envisage the difference in motivational component profiles toward learning embryology in cross-section. It also senses the need for incorporating motivational short courses in undergraduate curricula, especially in remediation programs.","PeriodicalId":21087,"journal":{"name":"Research and Development in Medical Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138981261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
